The BEST stay!

Our trip to Lagen Island was amazing! My husband and I visited on a vacation, and I highly recommend you visit this place! The location is dream-like, and every day, we were amazed to be in such a beautiful, serene, and relaxing environment. We loved that the resort was built with nature, so we always felt surrounded by the forest and the ocean. Amazing activities are included, so they should be included in your price assessment. We went on two 4-hour and one 3-hour sightseeing, kayaking, and snorkeling excursions, and they were fantastic! The crew was kind and informative and got us to popular spots before all the other tourists. Our guide on all our trips is the best! The resort also has great kayaking and a beautiful cove for kayaking and snorkeling. One of our favorites was the short hike over the island to a private beach. It was always empty for us; we could walk, kayak, and swim on it. The resort itself is beautiful, and everyone was so thoughtful and kind. They were always available to answer questions and help make our trip perfect. The team members became like family to us. The food was also great, and they had a great happy hour, which you can enjoy while watching the sunset. Stay here, you won't regret it!

Very friendly resort. Everything was nice.

The people are so nice. So many friendly staff members. Good was great and changed items on the buffet every day. Spacious, clean, beautiful resort. Private snorkeling beach on the back of the island. 2 morning tours and 1 afternoon tour that will take you to most of the good stops of tours a, b, and c for free. The staff to guest ratio is the best I’ve ever seen. Everyone was quick to answer any questions or guide you in a direction.

The perfect vacation! My husband and I spent 3 nights at Lagen Island Resort and every minute of it was amazing! We love the tranquility of the island and we really enjoyed the tours that the resort offered. The food was magnificent but the most special part of this place were the staff. Big shout out to Carryl, the best tour guides - Aldrin & Winston, Chef Paul who prepared an exquisite meal for us on our anniversary and Boss Mike who serenaded us during dinner which made this anniversary the most memorable one to date! Special thanks to the front desk staff who helped us straighten out our flight back to Manila! Thank you for making our stay a wonderful and unforgettable one! Hope to see you again soon!

Lagen Island

We enjoyed our experience at Lagen Island. The island is stunning and full of nature. We found it convenient having all our tours coordinated through the resort (and small groups). Make sure to arrive in El Nido before 4pm to make your transfer to Lagen island. We hope to be back again soon!

Beautiful resort, idyllic location, the staff are amazing and the trips etc such as to big lagoon included in stay are an added bonus. Only thing I would say is they could do with some evening entertainment/music but overall an amazing place to stay !

10/10 Exceptional

We love the peace and quiet of the place. The resort is well-maintained and very clean. The towels and sheets are new, still fluffy and white. We love the hospitality and friendliness of all the staff, they gave a warm welcome upon our arrival and a goodbye song to the guests leaving. Checking in was very smooth and hassle-free. We arrived at the resort at 9:30am and while our room was not ready, Eds (Supervisor) gave us a nice room to freshen up and rest while waiting for our water cottage. Their activity coordinator planned our tours and activities according to the duration of our stay. She even arranged a trip to Miniloc on our last day so we could experience feeding the jackfishes. A four-day trip is definitely not enough and we'd love to go back!

Magnificent, phenomenal, the best place I have ever stayed at in the Philippines. Truly paradise.
Rainilda, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Overall a really nice place to stay for a quiet island holiday. The full board option was quite nice, served buffet style food (local and western) and quality was very good. Staff was extremely friendly (like almost everywhere in Philippines as it seems) and they accommodated our requests swiftly. The location itself is great and the resort is lovely. Would say that compared to Miniloc it’s a bit more off the grid, as Miniloc has its own reef and is closer to most sights. However the tours Lagen offers (for free if you like!!!) are great. We did two private tours and the service was great. Our guide Joe was excellent and knew what tourists value. Acted as a “hobby photographer” at all times to capture our experience. The went all out for us, we truly loved the service. The speed boat takes about 20 min to get to most places, though it’s a rough ride if the sea is choppy. Overall improvement was the WiFi quality in the room. However they delivered a portable WiFi when we raised it. This one worked well. In General the Resort seems slightly dated and could use a bit of a touch up here and there (smart TV, update of paths, etc.). However, critique only marginal here. In General the condition was good and we would definitely come back.

10/10 Exceptional

Booked this for my parents. They had the time of their lives! This resort went above and beyond for them as they celebrated their anniversary - messages on the bed in palm leaves & flowers, special dessert for dinner, and there was a live musician who dedicated a song to them. The resort is absolutely stunning, the sand so soft, the water beautiful turquoise, the staff were so welcoming and they felt very safe their entire time. They stayed in a water cottage which was an amazing experience and worth the extra money. Many excursions and activities to do like snorkelling over coral and lagoon kayaking. Staff were also very easy to communicate with via email. Now I want to go! Thank you for a wonderful vacation!

From start to finish my honeymoon here was amazing! You receive a welcome song and a good-bye song when you go. Staff are very friendly, always smiling, and accommodating. The scenery is breathtaking and waters are pristine. The area is private so its a romantic spot. The manager, Sanders, prepared a romantic complimentary dinner for my husband and I on our last night on the dock with our own server, Leo, who was also great! There is a private beach around the corner from the resort that you can kayak to, or take a speed boat, or hike to. There are rocks there so I would recommend someone wear their water shoes. You can also snorkel at this beach! The waters are so clear at the resort that you can see all kinds of fish swimming around already,especially if you try the paddle boarding there! Definitely would recommend this place if you are looking for a relaxing vacation!

8/10 Very good

Great staff, great location, nice welcome, quiet and relaxing resort. A bit pricey though. Getting the complete package only for full days when you can do the tours and have all 3 meals is worth it but not on partial days like day of arrival and day of departure. Surprised us with a two for 1 dinner buffet and an anniversary dessert plate. Two for one happy hour is great.

Beautiful setting! Good facility. Great service!

Amazing setting and natural beauty. The facilities are a bit run down and in need of refurbishing. The hotel is clean and well maintained but it has aged and is rundown. Time for some capital expenditures by Ayala. The staff is well trained and provided great personalized service. The food, served mostly in a buffet setting, is good. The daily catch was especially good. The island hopping and snorkeling were outstanding.

A Westerners Review, Told like it is

This was our little one night trip into Paradise , First let’s start by saying this resort communicated with me days before the scheduled arrival and was very helpful , Upon arriving at the Jetty your welcomed by their staff with comfortable area to await your boarding for your Boat trip to the Lagen , The staff attends to your every request with service that is above expected ,Although the sea was very rough ,Our ride was great , We arrived to Coffee house music and received 5 star arrival service , Our weather could have been better but we made the best of it , Ordered room service to our Water cottage , witch was nicely prepared when arrived , The room is without question 5 Star Disney style for you westerners , From WiFi ,To Tv channels , it was all it could be , Wished I could have flown my drone ,but it’s not allowed as this is a private resort , The stunning property land scape is truly breath taking ,Imagine living in a rain Forrest “ Upon checking out our things were handled with no efforts from us and we boarded for our Exhilarating boat ride back to El nido , This also is not a pre arraigned review , I believe that when a property goes the extra mile ,So can my review , I would encourage anyone to experience the el nido resorts Palawan , , This review is for the Lagen

静かで洗練された大人のリゾート

手付かずの自然に囲まれた、洗練されたリゾートで、静かでとても落ち着きました。部屋も敷地も広々として清潔感があります。エルニドタウンには行かず、ずっとラゲンやエルニドリゾート系列の島で食事をとりましたが、ビュッフェもアラカルトも美味しかったです。私たちは3泊程度だったので、飽きることもありませんでした。 スタッフは皆とてもフレンドリーで親切。ツアー中もすすんで写真を撮ってくれ、良い写真を撮るためにポージング指導したりなど撮り方も工夫してくれました。 ミニロックにも行きましたが、ミニロックの方が賑やかで、ホテルの前に良いシュノーケリングポイントがあったりスモールラグーン、ビッグラグーンに近かったりと、よりアクティブに過ごしたい方向けかと思いました。ラゲンは静かで洗練された大人のリゾートという印象で、大人のカップルや女二人旅の方が多かった気がします。 洞窟めぐりやスネークアイランド、ディブルアン島のビーチクラブに行くツアーが、ガイドさんの腕もあってとても楽しかったです。ラゲンの前の海でサンセットカヤッキング、最寄りのビーチでシュノーケリングもして、どちらもとても良かったです。エルニドの海は本当に美しく、頑張ってまたいつかここに泊まりに来たいと思いました。

還不錯的海邊獨棟別墅

在這區應該算是還不錯的住宿選擇,可直通海灘,但這邊的海灘是不能游泳的,是搭螃蟹船出海的地方,所以參加行程很方便,只是房間地板有點油滑,可能是他們慣用的地板清潔劑的關係,不太習慣,而且房間會有蚊子,wifi只在餐廳及櫃檯有訊號而且超弱,4G訊號也弱到不行,其他還算不錯,尤其是日落夕陽,超美的
